For me at was Curt seemingly being so invested in the project (less financially, more emotionally) and my never ending search for the next big thing that won't happen. I remember him saying things I liked (within the context of this game because his world views are fuuuuuuuuuuucked) and I...

The difference there is many, many years of development, an insanely huge budget and a massive development team. Still wish that game would have happened, I actually liked Reckoning and wanted to see more of Amalur.

Vanguard was left to rot for years with no audience. I'm not saying it can't make money, I'm just saying they'd probably have to cut a bunch of salaries and merge teams and change management and oh yeah that's what just happened.

Quaid, you're right but I hear even EQ1 bleeds money so they're fucking something up if that's true. At least the servers are still up. On topic: this new update is off the hinges. Doors man. I fucking love doors.

Those were shown today. Maybe they've had some of those before? EQN relaunch 4.0

Halas stuff:EverQuest Next! - Album on Imgur This could turn it around for EQN etc. etc.

A new TLP with no bots or boxing is coming this winter. Apparently daddy Columbus sees results in progression servers. Elidroth, time to pitch your new classic EQ again. It'd probably launch before EQN, too.

Yeah, not trying to call you out or anything. Just saying this project looks like some fake pipe dream.

Not to shit on anyone's dream but I remember when they were justifying using the Unity engine, one their guys used AC: Unity as a reference to how good it can look. Pretty much laughed and scratched this one off. I don't think these are the guys we should be expecting to bring back the PVE...

Yeah I know, EQN just really rustles me because I stupidly thought it'd amount to something I might like.

Saying there's just been a couple of people fired at SOE is just about the biggest load of bullshit I've ever seen. Mass firing, actual talent leaves, CEO steps down, being bought out by some Russian company with a shitty portfolio, no progress having shitshow development, two years of combat...

That post was conjecture but they've lost talented, actual contributors, too. None of those were ever as well documented as the faces of the project though.

No, you're right it hasn't actually been reference. Someone told me it's the case though which makes sense. Guess we'll see, I'd never even heard of the guy honestly.

Someone said it's a temp replacement which makes sense. Doubt he stays in that spot.

It was reading into a random tweet you dumb fucker, nothing to do with Smed directly. I deleted it because people generally take shit way out of context.

Game is pretty much fucking toast. They can't get basic gameplay functions working in their stupid voxel world and ain't no way Columbus is going to keep funneling money into the toilet. I'd say they would start over but that'd be like the 20th time and I'm pretty sure Columbus doesn't like that...

Anyone know anything about Russell Shanks? Been there a while it seems but honestly never heard of him.

Guess my post wasn't a reach.

Edit: Eh, deleted. It was a reach and I don't want to be that guy.

Smed blew up his own Twitter account. Is that news? I guess that's news. That's actually probably not news.

Hip Tanaka released this dedication to Iwata, which is a remix of Balloon Fight (one of Iwata's games).https://soundcloud.com/hip_tanaka/de...o-satoru-iwata

RIP

Saddest gaming news in a while. Iwata was such an awesome dude. Fuck.

The MMO industry is a shit one. If you've got something even remotely recognizable you're better off than most.

BREAKING NEWS: EQN officially at the same standstill it's been at for past year. Standby for no more details.

Right, but the funding worked in conjunction with money Paizo gave them, I believe. Based on their original pitch and budget talks that probably wasn't shit either though. All these delusional MMO fuckers promising the world when 2D platformers run through Kickstarter money like it's going out...

It's a game you play. It has graphics and terrain and things.

I mean, I'm sure he's brought in some investor money but what game do they have that's bringing in money? Rift is stale, Defiance seems like a shit bomb, End of Nations was canceled, they published ArcheAge in the west and nobody even knows what a Trove or Glyph is. Rift was bad in a lot of...

That's because it's a port of a Korean game. Trion is such a boring ass company.

Confirmed: -they're making partial use of Forgelight 1.5 - EQN will hopefully have continents (pending tech improvements) - Despite SOE Combat Live from a year and a half ago, they're still working on combat Sounds like things are going well in voxel land.

In a game with largely nothing to do, when you give people even less to do they're going to think it sucks. A mechanic that might work in a hypothetical real MMO, it damn sure doesn't in the ghost towns of Landmark.

Troy Mishler and Jeremy Bridon. Artist and engineer. Left, not canned as far as I know. Looks like people want out when they get a chance.

I think you're creeping me.

From 80 billion hot keys and AAs to only like 12 thousand hot keys and no AAs. Far more appealing to former EQ2 players that quit years ago.

It won't save it but it'll give it a popularity spike and bring in a little extra money. Probably have Ragefire to thank for that.

LinkedIn and brief email conversation with him.

Teljair happy, Draegan sad. TLP servers happening this year it seems. Ragefire must have Daybreak happy. Link

Ben is back on the team (former PR guy during Kickstarter era). Tune in next month for more news.One hot scoop for one hot dollar, Soy.

Guys, the change finally came. Got word that H1Z1 scooped hot talent up and confirmed it via LinkedIn. Welcome to Salim's Lot. P.S. Never really dealt with the guy, but people have strong opinions here.

I assume you're talking about me with that second comment? That's really not true at all.
